Elycort Ointment is a topical medication used for a variety of skin conditions. The active ingredient in Elycort is hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling caused by certain skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. Applying Elycort Ointment to the affected skin area provides localized relief from these symptoms. The ointment should be typically applied in a thin layer to the affected area of skin one to three times a day. It's also essential to wash your hands before and after applying the ointment, unless your hands are the area being treated.
